Multichip vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers: a coherent power scaling scheme.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an efficient coherent power scaling scheme, the multichip vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL), in which the waste heat generated in the active region is distributed on multi-VECSEL chips such that the pump level at the thermal rollover is significantly increased. The advantages of this laser are discussed, and the development and demonstration of a two-chip VECSEL operating around 970 nm with over 19 W of output power is presented.

متن کاملHigh Power Pulsed Intra-Cavity Frequency Doubled Vertical Extended Cavity Blue Laser Arrays
Electrically pumped vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) can produce hundreds of mW's of 976 nm CW output in a TEM00 mode when operated with an external cavity configuration. During pulsed operation (<50ns) a significant increase in the peak power is observed, compared to CW operation. High peak powers makes these lasers very well suited for intra-cavity frequency doubling with a no...

In this paper, the characteristics of longwavelength vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) lasing at 1550 nm have been studied based on the influence of the oxide aperture radius. Using the oxide confined VCSEL model, we examine the static operations taking into account the carrier-noise, photon-noise and phase-noise including feedback of the external cavity. From the simulation, sever...
